Beautiful but hard to navigate

The resort was very lush and beautiful. There were lots of animals and some ruins on the resort grounds. However, it was extremely difficult to find our way around this resort, even with the maps. There are so many paths and jungle trails it can even be tough to remember how to get to the lobby. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but the wifi, which you have to pay about $80 a week for, doesn't work in all of them. The food wasn't very good, but we didn't go on vacation for the food. The pressure to attend a timeshare presentation was very annoying.

Trip purpose:

Great honeymoon!

It was great from beginning till the end. The staff was courtious and we received a royal treatment on our honeymoon package. The rooms were comfortable and we received pleasant surprises every day at our room. The food was delicious and abundant. Loved the private beach beautiful natural scenery...The only thing they could do better are the piña coladas. They tasted like medicine.

Dining tip:
In Hotel

Take the tour bus every time! Don't try to go to a tourist site like for example Chichen Itza on your own. We tried to drive there on our own accord because the staff said it wouldn't be a problem and instead we had the worst experience we got lost and we had to deal with the police trying to steal from us.

Beyond expectation

Resort was clean, staff was very friendly, they even have transportation from your building to the beach and around the resort. food was good enough options especially for breakfast. The rooms were average nothing special. The beach is a bit small but has a great location for snorkeling. Very safe resort and surrounding areas. I'm very pleased by this resort and the location

Annual Vacation gone bad

We only go on vacation for a week once a year, and we try to make it good. This year my husband's and my vacation was extremely disappointing to say the least. We had many problems...
-emails exchanged with the hotels and preference that were promised were not fulfilled at all they also would not acknowledge that a commitment was made and that they should uphold what I had in writing
-Bugs: we expected there to be bugs and maybe even have some end up in our room. What we didn't expect was shower gel with bugs. When we told the staff, they said it would be taken care of and it wasn't. We had to physically take the gel up there to get an exchange.
-"Vacation Club": others have said it, but I'll said it again, they're very aggressive. our first night (after traveling all day) the concierge insisted on giving us a gift that was included in our package we purchased (sliding notes under the door after 9/10pm at night was a little much), and that "gift" ended up turning into a sales pitch to force you to put down a deposit so that the sales rep can do a proper pitch.
-Overall the hotel just wasn't classy. People we having dinner in gym shorts and bathing suit covers, despite the dress code, and they were never asked to change. It just overall felt like we were an inconvenience to the staff and that they didn't care if other guests were allowing the resort to be trashy.
-Spa: wonderful, they were really great and we were very pleased with those services.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend spending the money to stay at this resort (not even sure I would waste the time if it were free). There are other resorts in the area that are much nicer and uphold their quality standards.

Trip purpose:

Fun on a budget

I love this area of Mexico and this is our third visit.
This hotel is a beautiful place with a very nice pool and a great sheltered beach for swimming or relaxing.
The food and entertainment are unimpressive, but the overall experience is a good value for the money spent.

Amazing Birthday Trip!

I came to Riviera Maya for my birthday trip. I went with my boyfriend and we had a great time! The resort was beautiful and spacious. There was something to do every night! The food was also very good. I enjoyed the Sorona Grill and the buffet they had. Some people may not like buffet food, but I would say their food was terrific. I also enjoyed the buffet by the ocean. You basically couldn't go wrong wherever you went to eat. The drinks were amazing as well. I enjoyed how nice everyone was and how they tried to get to know us. The bus boys sang "Happy birthday" to me randomly at lunch one day and gave me a cake when they didn't have to.
The water was beautiful and clear and they give you an hour of snorkeling equipment per day per person. I enjoyed this part! The only part I didn't like was how muggy the rooms got and how uncomfortable the bed sheets were. They were very rough and the bed was hard as most other people have commented. However, I would return to this resort. I had an amazing time overall!
